Our Driver! Little man with the Big Smile. 35+ hours on the road - he got us there and back safely.
Today's drive will be 8-9 hours. 4 on rough winding mountain roads, the rest on pavement.
Our van! For reference, if you plan a Tibetan road trip, opt for the Land Cruiser. They gave us a van to accommodate 6 people (4 of us + driver & guide). It would have been a much more enjoyable ride in a jeep type vehicle! The roads are sometimes very rough, with many unexpected pot holes along the way. Too much wear and tear from a light duty passenger van - our left front brake went out on the return leg.
On the way back, we stopped to help this Land Cruiser change a flat tire. Between the two vehicles, we found enough tools and expertise to get the job done.
Our van gets a needed wash job - one small bucket, a rag and water from a stream does the trick.
